Two teenagers were almost victims of a robbery by three perpetrators riding a motorcycle on Jalan Gunung Sahari, specifically on the Gunung Sahari underpass, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta on Saturday, May 16, 2026.
The incident was recorded on a CCTV camera and was reported to have occurred early Saturday morning. At the time of the incident, there were two victims who were riding their motorbikes on the side of the road. The two victims were chatting.
Not long after, three perpetrators came on motorbikes. One of them carried a sharp weapon and got off the motorcycle. The perpetrator immediately approached the victim.
Seeing suspicious movements, the two victims immediately acted quickly by locking the handlebars of their motorbikes and pulling out the key. The two victims then fled for their lives.
Meanwhile, an offender carrying a sharp weapon tried to chase the victim, then wanted to steal the victim's motorcycle. However, it turned out that the victim's motorcycle handlebar was locked so that the perpetrator failed to take away the victim's motorcycle. The perpetrators left the location.
